My first “real” job was at a Canadian bank in Toronto’s financial district and the staff was quite the international bunch.
I still have fond memories of learning how to curse in other languages, say the basics of each language and most importantly (to me)…sample the different cuisines.
My work life and social life now began to revolve around downtown and the melting pot of people that it is.
Every year, around this time (Christmas) the staff would throw a “pot luck” lunch. Each person had to bring a food from their culture for all to sample. The array of colours, aromas, tastes was fabulous (despite the need for Rolaids afterwards).
I used to work with many people of Filipino background. I found them to be ever cheerful, deeply family oriented, a love of food and lots of joking and laughter.
To this day, the standout dish that I remember from the “pot lucks” was the Filipino Fruit Salad. The flavour can be described as simply, “food for the Gods”.
You will need to visit an Asian store to get most of the ingredients but the result is worth the effort if you have to trek to your Chinatown. This dessert is simple to make and you’ll fool everyone into thinking you slaved to make such a decadent and delicious dessert.
This recipe contains condensed milk…how can it go wrong?
Filipino Fruit Salad
3 (140oz) cans of fruit coctail
3 jars of sweet macapuno (coconut) strings
1 large can of pineapple chunks
2 cans of lychees
4 green, tart apples, peeled and cut, chunks
2 bananas, peeled and cut into chunks
1 cup seedless red grapes, halved
1 can of condensed milk
3 cans of Nestle/Carnation cream
1 large bowl
- Drain the syrup/liquid from all the canned/jarred fruits and add them to the bowl.
- Add all the remaining ingredients into the bowl. Mix well using a large spoon.
- Cover and refrigerate for a couple of hours. Serve cold.

Hi Peter :)
I found your blog by a comment you left to Susan’s page, and it was nice to see a neighbour (not from Canada of course, but close to Greece)
This is Banu from Istanbul, Turkey :)
Really pleased to find your blog -by chance :)
I would like to add something to the translation of “Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year”
We say it like “Mutlu Noeller” for the “Merry Christmas” part, and “Iyi Seneler / Mutlu Seneler” for “Happy new Year” part :)
Wishing you a Merry Christmas :)
With best regards from Istanbul…
Banu
Merry Christmas, Peter, and best wishes for the New Year.*
Regards, Ferdzy
* I dunno about you, but I’m eating, drinking and being about as merry as I get, ‘cuz in the new year we diet…
